BT & Sal dissect the Knicks' home opener win against the Cavaliers, applauding the new commitment to depth and more playmaking from Jalen Brunson off the ball, but asking tough questions about whether new coach Mike Brown's offense truly looks "different" from the past. The hosts are still skeptical of Karl-Anthony Towns' ability to lead a championship contender, prompting a heated debate over whether the Knicks should (and will) make a mid-season push for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They praise the defensive promise of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges and slam Towns' attempt at a "heroic" but ultimately ineffective return from injury. Finally, they dive into the ongoing NBA gambling scandal, debating if the league's only real deterrent is voiding guaranteed contracts.

Bill opened the show by reacting to Jets owner Woody Johnson's harsh criticism of quarterback Justin Fields and explained how bad ownership hurts teams more than anything else. Bill and Ryan then gave a few NBA predictions before diving into Start/Bench/Cut, where Ryan asked Bill a controversial question that took the segment off the rails. Hour two kicked off with ESPN's Jake Trotter joining the show to discuss if Lane Kiffin should leave Ole Miss for Florida and where the Penn State job ranks. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if the Knicks need Giannis to win a title and if the Raiders should trade Maxx Crosby. The show ended with Bill and Ryan predicting the NBA MVP and Rookie of the Year.

BT & Sal dissect the wide-open Eastern Conference as the Knicks tip off, arguing that the predicted top-tier is misleading. While they respect the Cavaliers and an ascending Orlando Magic (a potential 50-win team!), they dismiss the Sixers and question the future of the Bucks amid Giannis trade rumors. The hosts turn their scrutiny to the Knicks, challenging the Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns tandem, asking if they have the championship DNA of a duo like Brunson and Giannis. They also blast the team's questionable opening night rest for key players like Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, with Sal voicing a strong suspicion that the center's injury is being "a little bit cute" and may be more serious. The pressure is on for the most talented Knicks roster of all-time to finally get it done!

The latest episode of SMQB has Bison and Rooster delivering the hottest takes and the most head-shaking facts in sports. First, they dive into the financial insanity of college football. We're talking about coaches who've barely won a thing getting *tens of millions* just to go away, including a staggering $52 million buyout for Brian Kelly and $45 million for James Franklin. Where's the outrage? The guys lay into the greedy system, but still find a few bright spots on the field, including the shocking rise of the **Indiana Hoosiers** into the top 5 and the ACC-wrecking **Virginia Cavaliers**. Then, the focus shifts to the truly unbelievable: Shohei Ohtani's single-game postseason performance. Three home runs and ten strikeouts in one game? The hosts debate if it's statistically the greatest performance of all time and why his two-way dominance leaves him with only one comparison: Babe Ruth. They also break down the drama of the ALCS Game 7 between the Blue Jays and Mariners, shouting out Vlad Guerrero Jr. for stepping up as a true franchise hero. Finally, the segment wraps with a look at the NBA, where the guys call out the league for pushing the aging stars while the new, international crop of talent (Jokic, SGA, Giannis) is ready to take the crown.

The goal of every offense is to create the best shots for the best players, but how do you get down to the details of accomplishing that goal? This week, Tony and I break down the intricacies of getting great shots, from your set list to passing and screening. We also have a good TWIB segment, where we discuss Giannis, J-Kidd's new contract, a preview of the NCAA Top 10's and a preview of the NBA Pacific Division. Enjoy!

Send us a textIf you love bold calls and smarter hoops talk, pull up a chair. We're breaking down the 2025–26 NBA season with a roundtable that isn't afraid to challenge the consensus: international stars versus U.S. headliners, why culture may beat hype this year, and how one coaching switch could redefine the Knicks' identity. We get specific on who gains ground in the East, which West team can actually threaten OKC, and whether Denver's quiet roster shifts leave Jokic carrying too much on his own.We start with the talent map, acknowledging a global top tier—Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA—while making the case for American stars who still change series: Edwards, Tatum, Mitchell, Brunson, and a rising Mobley. Then we tackle New York's pivot from Tom Thibodeau to Mike Brown, exploring how more ball movement, heavy pick-and-roll, and better corner shooting could unlock a top-three seed, even if the defense dips. Across the East, the Cavs' continuity earns real trust, Miami's culture lurks, and Boston's ceiling hangs on Tatum's timeline. Expect razor-thin margins, ugly wins, and one play-in result that jolts a narrative.Out West, we lay out the case for OKC's depth and versatility while flirting with Houston as the chaos team nobody wants in a seven-game series. The biggest potential letdown? Denver if injuries and rotation losses stack up, even with a transcendent Jokic. We go deep on MVP odds—Jokic's inevitability, SGA's two-way engine, Wembanyama's leap if San Antonio wins enough, Luka's best-case scenario with a stronger supporting cast—and we crown the coaches still setting the standard: Erik Spoelstra's relentless culture and Steve Kerr's adaptable offense.The fireworks arrive when we ask if LeBron is helping or hurting his legacy by staying this long. Stats say he's still elite; narratives say endings matter. The truth, as always, lives in the details—and in the way his presence still reshapes every matchup.

Skap Attack joins Combo's Court for a no-filter, stat-loaded, legacy-level debate on the LeBRON, Luka Doncic, and how the modern NBA really measures greatness. From LeBron's minus-54 plus/minus and leadership questions to Luka's rise as the league's next generational face — Skap doesn't hold back, calling LeBron “a stat-chaser who doesn't promote winning.” Combo challenges claims, bringing context, hoops IQ, and balance to a fiery conversation — sharp, real, and full of receipts. But it doesn't stop with Bron. They dive into everything from Giannis-to-Knicks trade buzz to Jokic's all-time case, Bronny's ceiling, and even Prime Penny vs Prime SGA. By the end, you'll be debating who really belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Basketball — Jordan, Kobe, Kareem, Duncan… or someone new.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA action to get you ready for season tip-off. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers tip off the final preseason Dream Preview pod before the 2025-26 NBA season, reviewing win-total moves, roster news, and championship outlooks. They note minor market shifts after injuries: VanVleet's torn ACL drops Houston slightly, LeBron's sciatica lowers the Lakers from 48.5 to 46.5 wins, and Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year deal while Keegan Murray nurses an injury. Their power rankings open with Denver, Golden State, Houston, and Minnesota in a near tie, joined by the Cavs, Clippers, and Thunder. Munaf edges Denver over Golden State for balance and depth, while Mackenzie touts the Clippers' underrated strength versus market skepticism. Both put Oklahoma City and Cleveland atop the league, debating whether Giannis's future or trades could reshape the field. They agree Minnesota's Anthony Edwards is elite yet not proven as a true championship alpha; he scores big but lacks sustained playoff efficiency. The Rockets intrigue with Kevin Durant's arrival but lose VanVleet's stabilizing playmaking; Amen Thompson's defense and Reed Sheppard's shooting are swing factors. Mackenzie fears spacing issues; Munaf sees potential if Sheppard hits threes. They finalize top fives: Thunder, Cavs, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors for Mack; Thunder, Cavs, Denver, Warriors, Knicks for Munaf. Title odds show Thunder +245, Nuggets 6-1, Cavs 7.5-1, Knicks 8.5-1, Rockets 11-1. Mack picks Thunder over Cavs; Munaf predicts Knicks emerge from the East, citing depth, health, and Brunson's leadership, while both name Golden State the best non-Thunder Western threat. They expect Knicks-Thunder Finals (12-1 exact) with Knicks as a value play at 30-1. In division futures, they call the Cavs locks in the Central, Magic favorites in the Southeast, Bulls as a win-total over sleeper, and Thunder runaway winners in the Northwest. Spurs, led by Wembanyama's ascendance, are their pick to challenge Houston in the Southwest; Dallas could surprise if Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis mesh. They project the Pacific race between Warriors (+185) and Clippers (+175), favoring Golden State's health and chemistry. Discussion closes on Jonathan Kuminga's two-year $48 M deal—potential trade chip more than core piece. Best bets: Mackenzie likes Milwaukee under 43.5 wins due to defensive decline and Giannis uncertainty; Munaf backs Memphis under 41.5 given injuries to Bane, Clark, and weak defense. They also praise Orlando's continuity, fade Atlanta overhype, and recommend Thunder futures as the smart chalk. Closing plugs remind listeners to grab Mackenzie's season package and enter Pregame's Beat Dave Esler contest for $500 prizes. Both hosts sign off energized for tip-off and weekly NBA coverage ahead.
